Characters who break the universal laws without any explanations to it; Kirito would be a good example, since he already had 0 HP.
Simon would be a bad one, since their universe is run on the energy to make the impossible possible

predictable mannerisms. like some girl will be looking down, mildly disappointed, then a guy will say something not even really surprising or significant and she'll gasp and look up at him like it was really important. don't necessarily hate it but whenever that setup first starts im always reminded of it and it always plays out how i expect it to

>>101733905
Yeah, I hate it when the characters speak Japanese in my anime as well, it's not like they are made for Japanese people who want to be able to read and hear things in a language they understand. Fucking stupid.

>>101734760
Admit it, if you saw an american film set in Japan, where everyone speaks american english except for the few that use Texas accent, and everyone used English as their primary, you'd be pissed off too

>>101734760
I think OP is talking more about Japanese mannerisms being forced onto characters that are obviously not Japanese.

I ran into the perfect example yesterday, watching Michiko to Hatchin. Some little brown girl yelling, "Itadakimasu!" just doesn't make any sense.
It felt even more out of place in this show because everything else about it is very not Japanese.

I find that gasping, moaning, and other noises simply a necessary evil. Imagine the characters in scenes not making any sounds at all when something happens. It would seem a bit off to me, as if there is something missing that should be there. Of course, none of this happens in real life conversations.

The annoying thing is when American voice actors have to replicate those sounds and they mostly fail at not making it the most awkward thing ever. I present Vanille's moaning in FFXIII for a perfect example.

3D breasts look better. the only appeal of 2D are the faces expressing emotions with blushing, tears and big eyes more clearly. and the fact that 2D is inside an own world, where you take things that happen as they are - a character is portrayed as pure, so she must be pure; in reality she would have dirty thoughts once in a while, but the fictional world leaves those parts out. of course this works only as long as the plot is somewhat believeable; sudden fanservice insertion can be out-of-character and make people realize it is just a cartoon after all.

>blonde hair, blue eyes, obvious foreigner>blue hair, blonde eyes, fits right in>black hair, no way she's from out of town

>parents always away on vacation business trip

>"this isn't some anime/manga"
Then why is the tsundere puff-cheeked midget sexually accosting you and saying you're doing it, then slapping you so hard that you fly all the way across your gift from the gods, the beach?

Also, your rain is made of fucking death. Not exactly what I would call the common cold.

>girls with the voice of a 3 year old>acting way too childish for their age>drama ensues of the stupidest shit >harems>romance between teenagers containing no sexual tension whatsoever>romance between teenagers containing only sexual tension>tsundere's who have no good reason to be mean>girls confessing their feelings to MC but MC has absolutely no idea which one he likes>liking someone for stupid reasons (i.e saving someone from getting hit by a car)

>>101738449
That's pretty annoying, I'll admit, but the real shit is the fact that someone felt the need to explain all of that. Even the most socially awkward kid in the class.

You want me to believe that shit? Show me.

Look at this motherfucker right here. This is his first appearance in the series, and we already know, right off the bat, that he's got all this shit going for him. That's how you introduce somebody. Not with a wall of text, but with a shattering of ice.

No offence intended, but the anime fans who like the stuff with "She is the council president good grades good in sports and talented at everything else." don't have the patience (and sometimes I think the brain) for that, so anime have to explain everything.

>>101740272
Saving someone from getting hit by a car is badass, but the way I've seen anime do it is horrible. It's as if the girl falls in front of the car for the sole purpose of MC coming in to save her so that now she has a justification for liking him. It's very contrived.

>>101741728
I guess, but they were still written from Lina's POV, so I wouldn't exactly call Gourry the main character.
And even ignoring Slayers there's still older light novels like the Dirty Pair.
I guess the general rule is that the female character has to have some super power?

Anything dubbed
Anything that really goes out of its way to be pointless moeshit without even an attempt at some type of linear plot.

I dislike but can deal with animu that doesn't follow a linear plot. I don't mind when it deviates from the linear plot for a few episodes but when it is jsut all over the place for a whole season I tend to lose interest. It feels like filler after the first few episodes...

anything related to colds in jap media piss me off>it's raining I better buy an umbrella before I get pneumonia>I fell in a lake I am going to die if I don't dry off!>I'm so sick I can't get out of bed>let me wipe the sweat off you, you seem awful>I have a 98 degree fever I better go to the hospital

I loved BN2 the most for some unexplainable reason. Followed closely by 3 because I felt it had the most content with chips going up to V5 and all the secret area quests and the secret version of Alpha.

BN5 was where it started rolling off for me. The liberation missions were a bit repetitive

>>101755341
I agree. I still played six and did enjoy it even though it introduced a whole thing moving away from the traditional settings and characters.
Where Jewcom really killed it was on the Japan release only of Rockman Operationshooting Star which was Pretty much BN1 with an added scene from the Starforce series (ew). This served as a final fuck you to all the loyal BN fans and was a ditch attempt to squeeze any last bits of money out of the franchise before killing it off. >tfw there will never be a official BN7 >tfw you will never be busting cybercrime organizations and venturing deep into cyberspace with your netnavi

Their swords weren't actually that great. The folding technique has been around for about 4000 years. The best European swords were much better than anything created in Japan. Katanas aren't even very good for warfare..

You forgot beta as fuck MCs that can't just choose someone already, and when they do make their love interest feel insecure because they can't tell the others to back off.
Pic inversely related. We need more characters like him.

I-I'm sorry... It's just... Those games defined everything for me. It's how I developed a passion for technology. Currently studying Unix system infrastructure. I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for those games sparking my interest in hardware, software, and networking

Stuff like that is sometimes done to help the stupid people keep up, so sometimes it's not an issue of telling instead of showing because there's a point where you can't show something more clearly without it becoming ridiculous. Although that obviously only applies in cases where something was shown and then explained anyway and not when the explanation was your only way of finding it out.
